What does the sentence "Don't sit on a stone in winter and a tree in summer" mean?

The proverb we are going to talk about today is one of them. For example, people used to say, "Don't sit on a stone in winter, and don't sit on a tree in summer." Do you know what this means?

It is estimated that this sentence is the first time for many people to hear it, but even so, you must know what it means when you hear it, because it is too straightforward, which is one of the characteristics of proverbs. In fact, this sentence is also a little common sense of life, saying that you should not sit on a stone casually in winter and not sit on a wood in summer.

Now many people have no such experience. In the past, rural people had to work in the fields all day, often busy from morning till night. It is inevitable to have a rest when you are tired, but there is no stool in the field, so you have to find a stone or wood to rest your feet. But rest is rest. No cultivator will sit on a stone in winter, and few people will sit on a wood in summer. Because the stones in the wild are particularly cold in winter, sitting on them is easy to catch cold, while the wood in summer is generally soaked by rain or dew, and sitting on them will be invaded by moisture, which is not good for your health.

"Don't sit on a stone in winter, and don't sit on a tree in summer", which should have been explained for a long time, was made clear in just eight words. I have to say that human wisdom is really unfathomable.
